Have you ever traveled to a foreign country, or gone on an expedition in search of rare flora or fauna in some remote wilderness? Although it's theoretically possible to muddle through on your own, people often hire a guide in these situations. The guide's job is to help you locate the stuff you're looking for without a lot of wasted effort. Well, that's exactly what the electronic program guide does for you in Media Center: It lets you go straight to the good stuff on TV, without wasting a minute on the stuff you don't want to see.
